Anyone pleased with their flowmasters?
Re: Anyone pleased with their flowmasters? I have flowmaster series 10's in a 3" true dual x-pipe setup. Very nice,loud, and unrestrictive. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Dumped in front of the axle with ported cutoff MAC's
I love the sound and no rasp.

Anyone pleased with their flowmasters? I've currently got a Borla exhaust on a bolt on car. Soon is coming the cam and headers. From what I hear, long tubes + Borla = crappy sound. I know flowmasters get dogged around here, but is anyone successfully running a flowmaster catback with headers & cam, and putting out good RWHP?
I'd love some dyno numbers and love a sound clip even more.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Anyone pleased with their flowmasters? From the research I've done, Flows have an awesome sound, but if you're looking for power, steer clear from Flows. They flow the same as the stock catback.

Re: Anyone pleased with their flowmasters?

If you want to run the Flowmaster cat-back just make sure you put a cutout on the I-pipe for when you need the extra flow. It won't quite flow as well as the Borla but it will have a very good sound(assuming you run cats).
Which one actually sounds better on an LS1 is for you to decide.

Re: Anyone pleased with their flowmasters? LT no cats through a magnaflow muffler sounds good. For loud fun I use my electric cutout. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> See a video of my cutout in sig.....before mods. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Anyone pleased with their flowmasters? I had an 80 series (3"in/dual 2.5" out) on my car for awhile and the sound was good. The drone above 2000 RPM was not. WOT sounded pretty wicked, but around town, it got old real quick. I don't have any dyno numbers, but I can tell you that when I switched to the SLP 2OTL, the car was much more responsive and torquey. (and drone free)
I only had my FM on for 13 months and the 1.5 Ohio winters it saw ate it alive. All the welds were rusty and the "aluminumized" coating was peeling off. I will definitely stick to stainless from now on.

If you block of the Borla 100% you might as well get rid of the left side tips.
The longevity of the FM is something I hadn't considered but very true. My Borla is about 3 years old now and still in excellent shape.
